GARBAGE-PAIL.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 16, 1908.

Application filed August 2, .1906. Serial No. 328,830.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known'that I, ISAIAH H. TAYLOR, a citizen of theUnited States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and useful Garbage-Pail, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvemen s in garbage pails, and particularly to that (ilass own as sanitary garbage pails.

A The object of the invention is to provide means within the pail for retaining a suitable V disinfectant, and which will permit the fumes to escape therefrom into the pail, whereby the contents of the pail will at all times be thoroughly fumigatedwith the disinfectant.

The invention consists of the new and novel parts and combination of arts hereinafter more fully set forth in t e following s ecification and pointed out in detail in the c aims. I

In the accompanying drawing,Figure 1 is a. side elevation of a pail, partly broken away, and showing the perforated disinfect cured 'to theunder side of the cover 2 by means of the threaded socket 4, soldered to the cover, and the screw 5, soldered to the said receptacle. Within the said receptacle 3 is a piece of felt 6, or other suitable absorbent material, which is to be saturated with a suitable disinfectant, the fumes of which latter will escape through the erforations of the receptacle 3 and thoroug y fumigate the contents of the pail, when the cover is in position thereon, and kill all germs that may be in the contents of the pail. The said felt piece 6 fits snugly around the screw -5 which olds it in its proper osition and prevents it from falling out of 'tlie rece tacle when the latter is disconnected from t e cover.

The absorbent material 6 once saturated will effectively fumigate the pail for several months, after which the receptacle 3 may be removed by unscrewing it from the socket 4,

and, the material 6 again saturated and the parts secured in osition as before; or the disinfectant may e poured through-the perforations without removing the rece tacle. This operation may be repeated as often as necessary.

While I preferisecuring the disinfectant receptacle to the under side of the cover of the pail, it is obvious the same may be located anywhere within the i1.

Having thus descrifie d my invention, what I claim is:

1. The combination of the pail, a cover for the pail, athreaded socket secured to, and projecting from, the under side of the said cover, a concaved erforated receptacle having a screw-threa ed stud rojecting from the inner surface thereof and adapted to fit the threaded socket on the cover, and a piece of absorbent material fitted snugly around said stud and adapted to contain a suitable disinfectant. 4

2. The combination of the pail, a cover for the pail, a threaded socket having a flange at its upper end by means of which it is secured to the under side of 'the cover, a concaved perforated receptacle, a threaded stud having a flange at its lower end by means of which is is secured to the said rece tacle, and adapted to fit the threaded soc et, and-a piece of absorbent material within said 'receptacle fitted snugly around the said stud and adapted to contain a suitable disinfect ant.
